Mier offers SIX categories of outdoor/indoor NEMA enclosures: * ACHT Series - * ACE Series - * FC Series Metallic - * FC Series Non-Metallic - * BP Series -
NEMA 4 outdoor/indoor enclosures with UL Listed air-conditioners, heaters, and thermostats NEMA 4 outdoor/indoor enclosures with UL Listed air-conditioners and thermostats NEMA 3R outdoor/indoor enclosures with UL Listed fans, filters, and optional thermostats (ABOVE) NEMA 3R outdoor/indoor enclosures with UL Listed fans, filters, and optional thermostats (ABOVE)
NEMA 4 outdoor/indoor enclosures (heater/blower accessories are available for the “BP Series” units if you would like heat only)
* Non-Metallic Enclosures-
UL Listed & NEMA 4X outdoor/indoor polycarbonate enclosures. Some models up to NEMA 6/6P.
When choosing an enclosure for your application, careful consideration must be given in determining the heat load and operating temperature parameters of the electronics mounted within, the conditions of the environment where the unit is to be mounted, and the moisture toleration of the electronics mounted within. Based on these facts, the need for air-conditioning, humidity control, heat, and/or fans can be determined as well as the NEMA rating needed. (For example, if the electronics cannot be exposed to moisture of any kind and NEMA 3R fan-ventilated unit would NOT work; you would need at least a NEMA 4 or NEMA 4X unit.) Please call Mier and we will be happy to help you choose the correct system for your application. Keep in mind, we commonly recommend the SAFEST NOTE: To keep UL Listings and NEMA Rating, installers must strictly follow OEM installation instructions and use water-tight fittings on all openings.

BW124-8FC BW-124FC BW-136FC
The Fans and Shrouds must be mounted to the enclosure using the pre-cut holes and supplied gaskets. The Fans must be installed in the proper position. Follow all OEM instructions to maintain NEMA rating and proper performance.
ATTENTION: WATERTIGHT FITTINGS MUST BE USED ON ALL OPENINGS! When installed properly per OEM’s specs: * Enclosure is NEMA Type 3R standards 250-1997 (1000 volts maximum) * Paint meets NEMA 4, UL-1332 * Gasket meets NEMA 4, UL-50, UL-844, & FMVSS302 Flammability & Code Compliance * Tamper Switch is UL Pending
With an internal heat load of 100 watts: Mier’s BW-124FC and BW-136FC units include the enclosure and a 115V/300 cfm continuous duty fan with filter. Mier’s BW-124-8FC includes the enclosure and a 115V/131 cfm continuous duty fan with filter. When installed and functioning properly, these three models will maintain an internal temperature within an average of 8° F of the ambient external temperature, when those external temperatures are between 70° F and 100° F. With light internal heat loads of less than 25 watts: When installed and functioning properly, these three models will maintain an internal temperature within an average of 5° F of the ambient external temperature, when those external temperatures are between 70° F and 100° F. NOTE: These “FC” fan-cooled units simply exchange internal air for the external air. Therefore, Fan-Cooled models are not recommended for high-temperature or low temperature environments. Because these units pull external air into the enclosure through a filtering system, they do not meet the NEMA 4 standards of Mier’s air-conditioned and heated models (ACE or ACHT). However, they are designed to NEMA 3R specifications. Therefore, Fan-Cooled models are not recommended for applications where internal components need to be protected from wash down conditions. When using these models you must keep the filters clean and must not block the fan, air intake, or air-flow with items mounted inside the enclosure. If your installation is in warmer or cooler exterior or interior temperatures than these, if your internal heat load is greater, or if you are installing in a coastal or highly corrosive area call Mier Products for advice on our other models. Mier recommends only installing units with window in shaded areas; as interior temperatures of these units reach 200 higher than units without windows. See the Warranty & Return Policy shipped with this enclosure. Warranty protection and information for each component are provided by their respective OEMs: Fans - Orion at 800-323-0265, Tamper Switches - Potter at 800-325-3936, Enclosures - Mier Products at 800-473-0213 • This enclosure is properly installed when the top & bottom mounting ears are flush against the wall and held securely with appropriate bolts, and the hinges face to the left side after the enclosure has been mounted on the wall • Watertight fittings must be used on all openings. • The door-gasket around the opening of the enclosure must remain in place and never be removed or altered. • The fans and shrouds must be mounted using the appropriate pre-cut holes on the enclosure, and strictly following OEM installation guidelines. • The tamper switch should be mounted on the studs at the top of the enclosure • If you have ANY questions regarding the installation of these products, call Mier Products at 1-800-473-0213 Your Fans have been placed inside the Shrouds, which have been bolted inside the Enclosure to protect these products during shipping. Please CAREFULLY remove the bolts which secure the shrouds inside and DO NOT GOUGE OR SCRAP the paint from the enclosure. Remove the Shrouds, Fans, and Hardware and place them aside for installation.

FAN, FILTER, AND RAIN SHROUD ASSEMBLY For Models BW124-8FC, BW-124FC, and BW-136FC
1. Feed the Fan Cord through the Double-D opening at the bottom right wall of the enclosure. The Fan Connector end of the cord fits through the opening. 2. Connect the Fan Cord to the Terminals on the Fan itself 3. Snap the Filter Retainer and the Filter off the Filter Bracket and set them aside for later assembly 4. Assemble the Fan to the lower right fan opening, putting the Fan on the outside and the Filter Bracket on the inside of the enclosure. Use four (4) #8x32x2½ inch screws and nuts. FAN AIRFLOW SHOULD BE INTO THE ENCLOSURE. 5. Install the Fan Cord plastic strain relief fitting into the Double-D hole. Leave a little slack in the Fan Cord so it does not pull loose from the Fan Terminals. 6. Install the Rain Shrouds at the top and bottom openings with the Air-Entrance Holes at the bottom (i.e. facing down). Use four (4) # ¼x20x½ inch bolts for each Rain Shroud. Use 3/8 inch socket or wrench to tighten so that Gasket seals properly. 7. Install Filter and Retainer by snapping onto the Filter Bracket 8. Fan may now be plugged into 115VAC for continuous duty 9. Openings in the bottom of the Rain Shrouds should be checked periodically for debris blocking air flow 10. Fan Filter should be cleaned or replaced a minimum of every six months. Do so more often in dust/pollen/debris/ ridden areas. 3

FAN THERMOSTAT CONTROL INSTALLATION The Fan Thermostat is an Optional Accessory 1. Cut the 115VAC Plug off the Fan Cord after mounting the Fan and Rain Shrouds 2. Set the Thermostat Control to about 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit for most installations. However, before determining the Thermostat setting for your specific application: you must consider the operating parameters of the equipment you are installing, specifically the operating temperatures, and you must take into consideration the temperature of the installation environment, seasonal changes, and the heat load of the electronics within. If the electronics are less that 100 Watts and the installation is in a normal indoor temperature controlled setting, it is recommended to set the Thermostat to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. Wire the Thermostat in series with the Fan: one Fan Cord Wire to the Thermostat and the other Fan Cord Wire to an 115VAC Plug. Another Wire from the 115VAC Plug goes to the other Thermostat Terminal. 4. Mount the Thermostat to the MIDDLE RIGHT SIDE of the Enclosure using the Two-Sided-Tape supplied.
